How To Cope

If you are in an abu­sive rela­tion­ship, there are things you can do to bet­ter cope with your liv­ing sit­u­a­tion. It’s impor­tant for you to find healthy ways to express your feel­ings and to learn tech­niques to help you calm down when you feel stressed or depressed.

All of these cop­ing tech­niques can be taught to and shared with your chil­dren. This will pro­vide them with tools to calm down, express their feel­ings in a healthy way and han­dle dif­fi­cult sit­u­a­tions. It will also pro­vide you with an oppor­tu­nity to bond with your chil­dren in a pos­i­tive way. This will help to build your children’s trust and sense of security.
